Galaga

Galaga was the sequel to Galaxian – which in turn was a response to Space Invaders. Both games introduced ‘swooping’ aliens and featured full colour graphics (unlike Space Invaders), but Galaga gets our vote for being more fun to play. You can fire two shots at once, and the gameplay holds up well today. It’s a great game… and great fun to play! TIP: Hit the space bar to get started once the game is launched.

Yes agreed! Way too fast! Also if you fail to shoot the Galaga alien who captures your fighter (can’t too fast!!), fighter disappears after one pass of the screen. That was not a feature of the original game. Had this on my Xbox 360 but not supported now on Xbox One so really missing this game, anybody know of any other versions?

The enemies were moving WAAAAAAY TOO FAST, there was no option to mute the music (because I have my own music to listen to and as much as I like the music, I like mine better) , there was no way that I could tell to pause the game, so you’re in it till you die, and you have to hit space EVERY TIME you want to shoot, if you hold it doesn’t do jack sh*t

overall: I like the game, but I’d rather find an arcade and play it there than play it here

I was the midwest states champion on Galaga back in the day. On this game I can’t get through the fourth screen. What the hell is up with the speed. This is closer to the 60 to 70th level on the original old game.

Thanks for mentioning you are on a Mac… we’re aware of the comments regarding speed but have not been able to replicate it as a problem (on any platform). It plays fine to us, and is pretty fast, but that’s how we remember it. We can’t adjust the speed unfortunately.

I’m 48 years old and the original game was not as you remembered it. If I were you, I would shut down the game and make the corrections needed so people could actually get something out of the game. I especially like the way the fighters circle our ship at the bottom of the screen and speed up 10 fold faster to make sure they wipe out your ship. I also like how the game stops occasionally when you get a double ship and you are forced to start a new game. Yes, I’m being sarcastic. If you choose to put out junk like this, just hang it up and try a new hobby.

Regardless of the speed, there are just too many glitches. Having to shoot through twice to get a kill. Getting a double ship only to have it set in one spot on the bottom of the screen unable to go right or left. Being killed and within 1,000th of a second your new ship that appears just happens to get smashed into by their fighters. Screen gittering, etc…
